The Bunny Way

The Bunny Way

There are easier ways
To get children to eat
Their vegetables
Then to
Threaten
Yell
Huff and puff
‘Til you
Blow the house down

Serve them
Whole carrots
With leafy stems attached
And marvel
At your clever self
As they
Crunch and munch
The bunny way

One thought on “The Bunny Way

  1. Kids can be so finicky. They tell you they like something, love it, gush about how it is their most favorite food to eat in the whole wide world. So you go to the grocery store and stock up on their most favorite food in the whole wide world. And then, BOOM! They hate it. Really really hate it. They can’t stand the sight or smell of it. Ahhh! The frustration of it all. Instead of despairing, I bring back “the bunny way” of eating, and a little bit of imagination really does go a long way.
